What Causes Weakness And Numbness On One Side Of The Body?

Today is 10/19/14 and yesterday my whole right side became weak and numb including the right side of my tongue. My right eye even started to lose vision. It lasted about 20 minutes but my right hand still tingles on and off all day long. This happened in 2010 as well but it didnt effect my right eye. My right eye lid drooped as well yesterday but no slurred speach. The sensation to my right side was normal after about 20 minutes but today I keep feeling like I have pressure in the center of my chest and pain in the right front part of my nech and little head aches. Can this be because of high cholesterol? I jsut had everything checked about a month and a half ago and everything was fine.

might be you are suffering from multiple sclerosis, as this is the second attack and vision involvement this is also a indicator towards multiple sclerosis. so go for mri brain with contrast as early as possible.
